Unit2ImprovingyourselfⅠ.【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文。薰衣草在古時候就被人們用來治療疾病。新的探討表明薰衣草可以被用來治療人們的焦慮。1.A細(xì)微環(huán)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)第一段中“...lavenderisusedasatraditionalorcomplementaryremedyforrelaxation,toreduceanxiety,anddepression,aswellasfordiseasessuchasstomachupsetandheadaches.”故從第一段中我們可以得知,薰衣草可以幫助解決心理健康問題。故選A項。2.D主旨大意題。依據(jù)其次段“Noscientificstudieshavespecificallyexaminedthebenefitsoflavenderuseforsocialanxietydisorder.Ina2000study...A2012studyalso...socialanxietydisorder.”可知,本段主要介紹了薰衣草對社交焦慮癥的好處的兩項探討。故選D項。3.B推理推斷題。依據(jù)第三段中“Lavenderisusuallyusedintheformofanessentialoilaspartofaromatherapy...Driedlavendercanalsobeusedtomakeateaorliquidextract.Lavendermayalsobetakeninpillform.”可知,本段主要排列了用薰衣草治療社交焦慮癥的方法。故本段采納了“排列”的方法綻開論述。4.A細(xì)微環(huán)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)最終一段中“Lavendertakenbymouthhasthepotentialtoincreasetheriskofbleeding.Ifyousufferfromableedingdisorderoraretakingmedicinethatmayincreasebleeding,usecautionwhentakinglavender.”可知,服用薰衣草可能會加重出血?！菊Z篇解讀】本文是一篇新聞報道。文章主要講解并描述了Deveza用自己的一半肝臟交換別人的腎臟給自己的媽媽,并取得了勝利。這一勝利的案例具有主動的影響。5.D細(xì)微環(huán)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)文章其次段的“Devezacameupwithadifferentplan.In2017,shestartedtheworld’sfirstpairedexchangeofdifferentorgansbetweenlivingdonors,exchanginghalfherliverforsomeoneelse’skidney.”可知,Deveza為了幫助媽媽移植合適的腎臟,用自己的一半肝臟作為交換。6.C段落大意題。結(jié)合第三段的“...thereareneverenoughorgans”“peoplewithkidneyfailureareincreasinglyreceivingdonatedorgansfromrelativesorfriends”和“doctorsmaybeabletofindpairsofwould-bedonorswhocaneachgiveakidneytotheother’srelative”可知,該段主要講解并描述了器官移植的現(xiàn)狀。7.D推理推斷題。依據(jù)文章尾段內(nèi)容可知,她們兩個的“器官互換”的勝利可以對其他人產(chǎn)生激勵作用,從而使干脆交換器官的案例增加。由此可推知,這產(chǎn)生了令人滿足的結(jié)果。8.A主旨大意題。通過閱讀文章可知,文章其次段中的“In2017,shestartedtheworld’sfirstpairedexchangeofdifferentorgansbetweenlivingdonors,exchanginghalfherliverforsomeoneelse’skidney.”為核心話題——文章主要講解并描述了Deveza用自己的一半肝臟交換別人的腎臟給自己的媽媽,并取得了勝利,下文則以此為延長講解并描述了其可能產(chǎn)生的主動影響。因此,選項A“MyLiver,YourKidney”不僅貼合主旨,且作為標(biāo)題更具有吸引力。Ⅱ.【語篇解讀】本文是一篇記敘文。文章主要講解并描述了作者在泰國參與一個健康營地時突發(fā)疾病,呼吸困難,但在一些樂于助人的生疏人的幫助下作者被送往醫(yī)院,并很快復(fù)原健康。假如沒有他們,不知道事情會怎樣。1.A依據(jù)上文“Afterdoing2.5hoursofkickboxing,Ibegantocough.”可知,作者運動后咳嗽起來,即有了不適的感覺。2.C依據(jù)上文“Ibegantocough”和“Butoverthenextfewhours”可知,幾個小時后,作者甚至出現(xiàn)了呼吸困難。3.B結(jié)合常識可知,人在呼吸困難時,心跳會加快。4.D依據(jù)上文“Istartedstrugglingtobreatheandmyheartbeganto.”可知,作者當(dāng)時的狀態(tài)特別不好,所以應(yīng)是拖著自己的身體到前臺。

5.A依據(jù)上文“askedwhatwaswrong”可知,作者向女士說明自己的狀況。6.B依據(jù)下文“Shewasonthephonewithin10seconds”可知,女士的效率很高,立刻就打電話讓人送作者去醫(yī)院。7.C依據(jù)“acartogetmetoahospital”并結(jié)合作者呼吸困難的狀況可知,此處指女士要求一輛車送作者去醫(yī)院。8.A依據(jù)“AnotherThaiwomancameandtalkedtomeforafewminutes”推知,另一位女士過來的目的是向作者保證作者會沒事的。9.D依據(jù)“Iwastakentoadoctor’soffice”可知,在女士的幫助下,作者最終到達醫(yī)院,這是不幸中的萬幸,因此
